ASL Interpreter At Wu-Tang Clan's Bonnaroo Show Raps With Her Hands, Blows Our Mind





Wu-Tang Clan may be hip-hop legends, but an American Sign Language interpreter offstage at their Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival performance last Friday managed to steal their thunder.
The interpreter, who has been identified as Holly, can be seen in this YouTube videosigning along at the Wu-Tang show with aplomb, even as the hip-hop maestros began spouting quick rhymes.

Music news website Stereogum, which listed the ASL interpreter as one of the "9 best things at Bonnaroo" this year, noted that Holly "didn't just sign every word, but putback into it."
